Sioux Valley News Correctionville, Woodbury, Iowa January 15, 1885 IOWA - W.H. Buchanan, formerly sheriff of Clinton county, died at DeWitt on Tuesday of paralysis of the heart. - Isaac Gron, of Algona fell the length of a flight of stairs a few days ago and received serious injuries. - Robert Kennedy's little girl, at Barnum, fell into a tub of hot water and was so badly scalded that she died on Wednesday. - Thomas Hedge, one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Burlington, and an early and widely-known settler of Iowa, died on the 8th. - Dr. McClury, of Keosauqua, administered chloroform to Mrs. Abe Wilkins last Saturday, in order to extract her teeth, and she died from the effects of it. - Edward Martin was crushed by falling slate at the Eureka mine, near Des Moines, Wednesday morning. Both legs were broken. He will probably die. - George B. Hamilton, one of the oldest residents of Dubuque, and one of the most prominent and extensive grain dealers in the west, died. He recently lost one speculation of $150,000, which has principally been the cause of his rapidly failing health and sudden demise. He was sixty-four years of age and was a native of New York. He leaves a wife and family. - A disastrous fire visited Iowa Falls on the evening of January 3. At about 6:30 the coal warehouse of Hoag & Steere and the Granger elevator were entirely destroyed. The Franger elevator was empty. The coal shed contained thirty tons of coal. Two cars on the sidetrack were badly scorched. The loss is about $10,000 covered by insurance and is the supposed work of an incendiary. - The verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of the lynching of Pleasant Anderson, near Blakesburg a few days ago, was to the effect that said Pleasant Anderson came to his death by means of strangulation caused by a rope placed around his neck, by which rope his body was suspended from the limb of a tree - and said rope was so placed and his body so suspended, feloniously by parties unknown to the jury. - A dastardly attempt was made in Monona county at a late hour on the night of the 2d on the life of Dr. W.W. Ordway, a wealthy farmer living on the Mapleton and Onawa stage road, near Castana. The robbery was made about 12 o'clock by two men, who came and woke the doctor up, saying they wanted some medicine. One man was admitted to the house, and while the doctor was striking a light the other fired a gun through the window, hitting him in the left cheek, circling around and taking off his lip and top of his nose. The doctor grappled with the man within, and during the melee the other man carried off the trunk. Saturday afternoon Sheriff Walker, of Onawa, placed under arrest a young man by the name of G.F. Struble, who lives on one of Ordway's farms, just across the Maple river, and about half a mile distant from Ordway's. A gun and mitten found at Ordway's were identified as belonging to Struble. Burnt paper was found around Struble's premises, and much evidence has been gathered against him. There has been much trouble between the two, Struble claiming that some mortgages he had given Ordway had been paid but not satisfied on the records. The trunk, containing a little money and valuable papers which were taken when the house was robbed, is believed to have contained other notes and mortgages given by Struble to Ordway. The getting of these papers and destroying them, rather than the money supposed to be in the trunk, is thought to be the motive for the robbery. Monday afternoon Thos. Struble, a brother of G.F.'s, who was living with him, Will Bell, and the hired man, McBride, were also arrested as participants in the crime. Dr. Ordway was frightfully wounded, but it is thought he will recover. Cathy Joynt Labath Iowa Old Press http://www.IowaOldPress.com/

Last year I asked and received responses about when Iowa REQUIRED all births and deaths to be recorded. But now I can't find the information. I know that these were supposed to be "required" in 1880, but since there were no penalties, many births were not recorded. But in about 1920 or 1930 penalties were attached to failure to report births and death. When was that date. Barbara Lane Hug, Coordinator of the Jasper Co.

I have the following 1936 and 1937 Drake University yearbooks available and would be hapy to do lookups. Please put Drake yearbook lookup, or some such in the subject line so that your query doesn't get lost among the spam. These books are for sale on line, so the offer is good for as long as I have the books. --Laurel

I put together this page for death records, but I believe the dates are probably the same for birth records. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaclayto/deathrec/deathrecords_faq.htm This page on the IAGenWeb site may also be helpful to researchers, but doesn't give the information you are asking about: http://iagenweb.org/state/research/bmdguide.htm Sharyl Ferrall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Hug" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 2:49 PM Subject: [IOWA] Iowa Birth Records Last year I asked and received responses about when Iowa REQUIRED all births and deaths to be recorded.

Can someone help with an Ancestry lookup? I see a Ryal Robert Poppa listed several times in a database called Biography and Genealogy Master index (BGMI) but not sure what it will produce? I am trying to establish his parents and family info. Thanks. Eric

I have a clipping from an Iowa newspaper, probably in Eldora, without a date, about the death of A. B. Underwood. I don't know anything about him, other than what was in the paper. "Regarding the death of A. B. Underwood, a brother of Private O. E. Underwood of Company H, forty-ninth Iowa, who was among the first to fall in the assault upon Santiago, the Iowa City Republican says: A. B. Underwood, Battery A, Second artillery, was killed at Santiago. He is a S.U.I. man of recent time. "Boyden" as he was best known to his Delta Tan Delta and other friends here, was a law student in the fall of '95 and winter of '97. He was afterwards passed by the supreme court, and was practicing at Eldora when called to the front. He was as brave and fearless as Roosevelt himself and will be greatly mourned by his Spanish battery. He was one of the first two men killed in the first artillery fight of the campaign." juanita

I am interested in finding out any information on my Hedges ancestors- Nathaniel Gates Hedges and his sons Daniel T Hedges and Charles E Hedges who were very important men in Sioux City Iowa. . NATHANIEL GATES HEDGES was born in 1811 in ME. .He was a farmer in Indiana and real estate salesman in Iowa. He probably moved to Iowa after 1860. He lived in Lee County Charleston Twp as a farmer and later in Valley, Polk, Iowa as a real estate agent. Other places in Iowa -Keokuk C.E. ( CHARLES) HEDGES born 1834 Died Aug. 9,1877 in Sioux City Iowa. HE was accidentally shot in the Dakota Territory in 1877. He married Mary KRUTZ on Dec. 4, 1867 in Switzerland Co. IN. Charles was a banker and general trader in Keokuk and Sioux City. Charles DANIEL F. HEDGES was born 1835/38 in IN . He married Mary VanDyke He was a trader and owner of a mill etc. He went bankrupt due to the crash of 1893. The Hedges' brothers were early Sioux City developers and promoters, Until Charles'death in 1877, the two brothers were partners in many enterprises. They became government contractors supplying cattle and grain to the Army and to Indian reservations in the Dakota territory. >From 1860 to 1864, they owned the Hedges Brothers Grocery Store. They owned cattle ranches, butcher shops, sawmills, lumberyards, a steam gristmill, grain elevator, and wood yards along the Missouri River for the steamboats. The brothers received mail contracts from Sioux City. They had a stagecoach business . Their company built the Academy of Music, the first Woodbury County Courthouse, and the Hedges Block at Fourth and Douglas. Both brothers were considered millionaires until the crash of 1893 in Sioux City Iowa. NATHANIEL D. HEDGES was born on Jan. 21, 1844 in Switzerland Co IN. He died Aug. 13,1865 in Sioux City Iowa. He was murdered by Indians on Powder River in Sioux City Iowa I would appreciate any other information on Nathaniel G Hedges and his two sons. Thanks Joyce

Just to add my 2 cents to this conversation about the candid reporting done in the past... Some of it was actually morbib and left nothing to the imagination. Some, on the other hand, were tragic yet almost humorous, such as the following..... "Mr. _______ left this world last week. His wife and three children will preserve the rope with which he hung himself." They certainly "said it like it was!" Ellen

Thanks for reminding us, Antoinette! As has been mentioned...it is very true that you can't trust everything you read in the newspaper either! But, as we all know, newspapers are only a secondary source of information (second-hand) that can help locate primary resources (original documents). I think I gave enough examples where many forms of information were used together to reach conclusions. In my case the second hand information concerning family lore & bios was also incorrect. The second hand information in the newspapers, in my cases, led me to clues to other documents. They well could have led me on a wild goose chase! (And they sometimes have). The moral of the story is...second hand information can be true or false or hold a tiny bit of truth! Reader beware! Cathy

I have to chime in.....first to say, Cathy, thanks so much for sharing. I love it and have it all filed. Secondly, that is right. SOME TIMES the newspaper did not get it right. Sometimes the dates are wrong and more often than not the spelling might not be wrong. But the old news columns are often the BEST information we have. I agree with Antoinette, we have to analyze and make corrections as we see it in print contrary to the facts!! It sure gives it a lot to think about. I am very grateful for the old news columns and the "nosy" local correspondents who wrote it all down for print. My ancestors did not leave behind any journals (or I have yet to find them), so the neighborhood columns are the next best thing to the journals. I love reading about the ancestors and what they were doing and who they were doing it with!! I love it.........and thanks, again, Cathy..........

I live in Des Moines and use the Historical Library and IGS library often. I will do newspaper lookups or records lookups for a fee.

I was not "belittling" anyone in saying what I did about taking into account all things when reading these items. And I, too, wish to thank Cathy and the many other people who have taken time to bring these "tidbits" to the internet for our research and use. The same as when we speak of something, we need to use it as "a tool" to prove what we read or what we heard. Also "handwriting" is the same. I received a certificate of birth which had been typed from the ledger. It stated "male" but gave the name "Antoinette". I really doubted all this as my grandfather had never ever mentioned having a younger sister, nor even a sister, except a half-sister through his father's second marriage. The date of birth of this "male" child shown as "Antoinette" was the exact same date that my great uncle Elroy used. Were they twins? Or? This was 25 - 30 years ago when I got the certificate and questioned it. About a year ago I found a "tidbit" that Mr & Mrs So and So had a son ~ ~ and this turned out to be my uncle Roy ~ ~ there was also another birth record stating "male" (a sibling of my uncle Roy) but giving the name of Janet. I have within the past couple years found this Janet to be Jarret. The 2 "r's" could easily pass for an 'n'. But it is challenging and I can not stop "searching" and/or finding the right piece to complete any puzzle.

Well, what is black and white and read all over? We all remember that little riddle from childhood, don't we? (Somehow it loses its "riddleness" when you see it in writing, huh?)

(And then transcribe, transcribe, transcribe and share with someone else!) Here goes Part III... ------------------ USING NEWSPAPERS FOR RESEARCH How I found my ggg Grandmother's brother, Richard Rose, in Marion Co, IA, and later proved the parents of my ggg grandmother, Mary A. ROSE WHITE were positively Ezekiel ROSE and Catherine STITES which hooked me up into a well researched line of ROSEs. I had been trying for years to prove my ggg grandmother, Mary A. ROSE WHITE belonged to one of the well-researched line of Roses. But I could never find any proof of her parentage. I first found a biography on her husband, Nathaniel White as follows: Excerpt from The History of Henry County, Iowa; Copyright 1982 "Mary Rose was a native of Fleming County, Kentucky and the daughter of Ezekiel and Catherine Sites Rose, both of them being natives of New Jersey. In 1828 she accompanied her parents to Brown County, Illinois where she met Nathaniel White." There were several inconsistencies with this bio I found later with further research. ______________ Well, a bio isn't much to go on as far as proof (here we are back to family lore as far as this bio was concerned) - especially when the person who gave info for the bio, for one thing, spelled a surname incorrectly. The surname SITES was incorrect and later found to be STITES. Mary Rose's obit, when I finally found it since I had no idea of her death date, was not much help as it mentioned: Mt. Pleasant Weekly News; Mt. Pleasant, Henry, Iowa; Wednesday, Feb 24, 1897 Obituary of Mary White Died at her residence three miles west of this city on the morning of January 28th, Mrs. Mary A. White, aged 83 years, 11 months and 27 days. Mary A Rose was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, February 1st, 1814, moved with her parents to Brown county Illinois in the year 1828, married Nathaniel F. White, Oct. 10th, 1833, moved to Burlington, Iowa in the year 1836, here her husband worked at this trade, that of cabinet making for three years. Burlington at that time was but a small village of log huts having been laid out in the year 1834 by Samuel S White, a cousin to Mrs. White's husband. Moved to Mt. Pleasant in the year 1839. Here her husband worked at his trade for one year, moving on the farm in the spring of 1840 where they remained the rest of their lives... ______________ No death certificate for Mary could be found to document the fact that Ezekiel Rose and Catherine Stites were really Mary's parents. A biography of Ezekiel Rose from a Brown Co, IL history also offered no further clues as it mentioned he had ten children but did not mention all 10 - only the three that stayed behind in Brown Co, IL. Plus it says old Zeke was born in 1876 which has to be a typo because I don't think he could have taken a prairie schooner to the "wilds of Illinois" if he hadn't been born then ! Now from somewhere else.now unknown to me because it was before my age of documentation, darn it, I found that the 10 children were: Ira, John S, Mary A, Jonathan H, Rachel, Richard, Charles, Martha, Elizabeth and Ezekiel, Jr. I had supposed that Mary A. was my ggg grandmother. THE EZEKIEL ROSE FAMILY p. 301 Brown Co. History "Ezekiel Rose, Sr. was one of the early pioneers of Brown County. He was born in Virginia in 1876 and while still young moved to Kentucky. There he married Catherine Stites and they came to the "wilds of Illinois" by prairie schooner in 1829. On that trip they brought with them some of the first livestock along with their family of sons. They chose the northwest quarter of Section 16 in Cooperstown Township to make their homestead and here they built a log cabin and put in a crop. The original grant was from the U.S. Government and remained in the Rose family for over a hundred years when it was sold to the Volk family in 1932. The hardships that must have been endured by these early settlers can easily be imagined. There is the story of the terrible winter of 1830. Former neighbors of the Roses in Kentucky, the Ralph Alexander family, came to Illinois that fall. They offered to help Ezekiel harvest his first corn crop, in return for help in building a cabin. Alas! the "Big Snow" came before they were finished. As a result, all of them lived in the Roses' cabin that winter. It is said there were seventeen. Ezekiel and Catherine reared a family of ten. Three of the children spent their entire lives in Brown County, founding families well known in the community. ______________ Then I went to checking out some newspapers in Lockridge, Jefferson Co, Iowa, unrelated to any research on my Mary Rose White and found: Lockridge Times; Jefferson Co, IA; August 16, 1928 Round Prairie George Smith and family, Mrs. Frank Metcalf, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Litton attended the reunion of the Rose family at Ottumwa Park Sunday. Lockridge Times; Jefferson Co, IA; Sep 13, 1928 Round Prairie - Miss Arminta Rose and brother Seth of Marion County spent the week end at the Thos. Litton home. - George Smith and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Metcalf, Thos. Litton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kessel of Fairfield, Miss Arminta and Seth Rose of Marion County were entertained at the Frank Smith home Sunday. ______________ All of the above articles mention Thomas Litton. Mrs. Litton (Martha Alice Smith) was the granddaughter of Mary Rose White. George Smith and Iantha Dorinda Smith Metcalf were also grandchildren of Mary Rose White. Therefore, I wanted to research further this Rose connection in Marion Co. and how they were related. I had never heard of any relations in Marion Co. ______________ I researched and found in some census records that showed T.E./ Thomas Ezekiel / Zeke / Rose was the father of Seth and Arminta mentioned in the newspaper articles. 1900 Liberty Township,Marion County, Iowa pg. 173A; 19 June 1900 ; line 19 Rose, T.E. [Thomas Ezekiel.], head, w,m, Feb 1856, 44,m 23,Iowa, Kentucky, Illinois, farmer Rose, N.E.

Rose, RR1, Bussey, Marion, Iowa Short, medium build, blue eyes, brown hair 9-12-1918 __________ I then posted a query on the Marion Co IAGenWeb Boards and found a lookup for some items related to T.E. / Thomas Ezekiel / Zeke Rose and after that I wrote to the Marion Co Genealogical Society to obtain a treasure trove of records. One of the records listed: Applicant: Velma Rose Moore Yr Ancestor settled in Marion Co: 1855 Sources of Proof: 1856 Census, 1915 History Marion Co, Vol. 2 pg. 120 Ancestor: Richard Rose DOB: June 1, 1821 DOD: April 7, 1897 Pioneer's Father: Ezekiel Rose Pioneer's Mother: Catherine Stites So, Richard was more than likely my ggg grandmother's brother, her parents, according to various sources were Ezekiel Rose and Catherine Stites. Her ROSE ancestry then could go back another generation to Jonathan Rose and Eliz. Hixon, and even another generation to Ezekiel Rose and Mary Fidlar. Now where is a newspaper article that will help with the STITES connection? Catherine Stites father was more than likely Richard STITES who died 18 July 1847 in Brown Co, IL..Did those STITES people have reunions?

Sioux Valley News Correctionville, Woodbury, Iowa January 14, 1897 Iowa State News A sad accident occurred near Decatur City a short time ago. Robert Shelton, a farmer and a companion were hunting along the banks of Grand river. Shelton shot a squirrel and it fell close to the water's edge. In attempting to get the squirrel Shelton fell into the river and was seen no more alive. His companion gave an alarm to the neighbors, and soon a large party was organized for the purpose of dragging the river to find the body. It was discovered three hours afterwards. The deceased leaves a widow and three children. The residence of Dr. C.W. Payne at Creston, was destroyed by fire originating from a flue. The doctor lost all his household goods, which were insured for $800. John Weirich, a well known citizen of Cascade, died suddenly while sitting in a chair at the home of his niece, Mrs. Peter Thelson. Frank Kouka of Cedar Rapids, aged 45, while temporarily insane hanged himself. He leaves a wife and two children. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson of Jefferson have celebrated the sixty-third anniversary of their marriage. Harry Simpson was arrested at Burlington charged with a forgery committed at Oquawka, Ill. Davenport reports itself almost free from diphtheria, the first time for several years. The order of Prince of the Orient, originating at Sidney, has been disbanded. ----------------------- YOUNG WOMAN DIES FOR LOVE Ainsworth, Jan. 11 - Miss Anne Kanautich, who has made her home with her widowed mother near Uniondale church in Highland township, committed suicide by shooting herself through the head with a revolver, dying instantly. The cause for the rash act is shrouded in mystery, except that she was desirous of keeping the company of a young man who lives near Riverside, to which her mother objected. Short in His Accounts Humboldt, Jan. 11 - The treasurer of Humboldt county, J.W.S. Lindley, is short in his accounts with the county about $16,000 and unable to make a settlement. Lindley has been a resident of Humboldt for about twelve years. He was elected three years ago, and as twenty-four good men are on his bond the county cannot lose anything by his shortage. His bondsmen are mostly farmers scattered throughout the county. Lindley was a dealer in cattle, and he claims to have lost the money in his business deals, but it is suspected that board of trade speculation is at the bottom of the difficulty. May be a Murderer Council Bluffs, Jan. 11 - Ludwig Studebaker has filed an information against Hugo Gutah, alleging that on the 2d of January the defendant assaulted Fred Studebaker with the intent to commit great bodily injury. The affray took place at High Five, a point frequently visited by residents of several townships, a postoffice being located near there and called Treynor. Particulars of the affair are meager, but it is asserted that Studebaker's injuries are serious and the affair may terminate in murder. At any rate Studebaker's skull was fractured and up to last accounts he seems to be growing worse. Oppose the Pardon. LeMars, Jan. 11- Relatives of Wm. Neuenschwander, who was shot and killed by Nick Lang, are taking active steps to oppose Lang's pardon. Mrs. Neuenschwander and others bitterly oppose it and they say that they will circulate a vigorous remonstrance. Parties were in LeMars yesterday making the preliminary arrangements.

But then while I enjoy cutting out all these little family "tidbits" to add in with my family group sheets, the newspapers do make errors we must remember. My sister Dorothy was born at home in Illinois and the little item I have of her birth has her being born the wrong "day" in January 1939 and an item I found for my mother's sister born out here (Washington 1919) indicates the parents had a new "son". I have found all newspaper birth "tidbits" of my mother's family except one brother born 1914 and still looking for it.

Wanda: For those of us unfamiliar with the schedules, is there a link that can take us to them? Debi -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Wanda Spainhower Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IOWA] Mortality Schedules Sorry I didn't mention those mortality schedules available are state schedules and you find your county within the Iowa State Schedule. Did other states have such schedules?

Jan, You might have more success in searching the available papers if you don't use the actual newspaper name when searching using Cathy's instructions. I followed her instructions, adding 'Osage' as a Keyword and got 13 results, several from the early time-period you are looking at. Using 'Standard' as a Keyword, hit #26 & #29 is the North Iowan & North Iowa Standard from Osage, Mitchell co. Don't let the date following the name of the paper fool you ... generally a date with a dash following it means there are several years of papers, and perhaps the entire run. The instructions are now posted on Iowa Old Press ... be sure to bookmark them! http://www.iowaoldpress.com/ILL.html Best wishes, Sharyl Ferrall www.iowaoldpress.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas A Nelson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 4:48 AM Subject: [IOWA] Old Newspapers Thanks for all your suggestions and help on finding an old newspaper article on my great great grandfathers in Mitchell County. I tried the advanced search in the State Historical Society of Iowa Library Catalog, armed with the name "North Iowa Standard" for 1863 and "Mitchell County News" for 1876. No records on either paper found. But I believe progress has been made in just knowing the proper newspaper names!! I will send a query in writing to determine if there is something available on either of them that is not on line. (Talk about having a hard time finding something......the State Historical Society address is not on their site, but found on a link!) Jan Nelson Yuma AZ
